Key result
Receiving treatment as guided was associated with 7.8 times greater odds of achieving controlled blood pressure and glucose levels among Iraqi patients with both diabetes and hypertension.
Why the study?
Uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes are associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and kidney diseases, necessitating evaluation of therapeutic regimens and factors affecting control.
Cross-Sectional (n=242)
Yes
Odds Ratio: 7.8
p-value: p=0.009
May support guided therapy in comorbid diabetes and hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation in larger trials.
Uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes are associated with cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular disease, and kidney disease. This study was conducted for the evaluation of hypertensive and diabetic patients at the target-controlled level and to find factors that affect uncontrollable cases. This prospective cross-section clinical trial included 242 Iraqi patients (114 males and 128 females) aged between 21-91 years who suffered from hypertension, diabetes, or both chronic diseases at differe

Mustafa Ihssan Abbas Al-Mahroos (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and/or Diabetes Mellitus (n=242). Treatment as guided vs. Treatment not as guided was evaluated on Controlled blood pressure and glucose levels in diabetic-hypertensive patients (OR 7.8, p=0.009). Receiving treatment as guided was associated with 7.8 times greater odds of achieving controlled blood pressure and glucose levels among Iraqi patients with both diabetes and hypertension.
